If you could spend a day with someone….
If you could spend a day with someone outside of your family and friends network, who would it be with, and how would you spend it……….could be a celebrity, a great name from history, anyone who you admire or who maybe you are in awe of………would be none of the above for me………….I am very interested in how the human mind tick tocks………don’t do fiction………would love to spend a day with a criminal profiler or someone who has spent time studying the minds of murderers………once read that very few people are born pure evil……. be so interesting to hear about his findings and conclusions……………

Great blog Star, and so refreshing to see one of yours coming from actually ABOVE the waistline !, hahahaa. So, before i leave my reply, are you asking since time began ?, (gotta give me time to think y’see, lol)
Now them Mr Postie, haven’t a clue what you mean….giggle giggle………yes from whatever time in history……..now I might have liked to have a private chat with Adam in the Garden of Eden……..just about the foliage he was wearing…….you understand…hehe xx
Right, thought;
1. Adolf Hitler, if for no other reason but to just ask him ‘why ?’
2. Writer Val McDermid, (of Wire in the Blood fame). What an imagination.
3. My Dad. Because i never got to know him until it was too late.
Thanks for this blog Star. x
Your very welcome Postie………… a good imagination is a very powerful thing to possess, if used in a positive way …xx
Well Mr. Postman the answer to your question to A. Hitler has already
been given by historians;
he hated people, he hated women and even more he hated Jewish people.
Yes, but that’s still not answering my question Michael.
” Why ” Mr. Postman why has he done what he did?
This person was driven with hatred and only satisfaction could bring him
to start and to win a war. I would suggest you look for Adolf Hitler’s Wicked Mind by you tube. Regadrs Michael
hi Star , just one word TAO……XX
Lani ,Tao I know very little about, but what I do know of its teachings is to practice humanity and kindness………… so that has to be a positive…..xx
Mother Theresa of Calcutta …reflecting prayer and doing the rounds helping the sick .
Yes I would imagine her insights and thoughts would be enlightening…x
Henry David Thoreau…In the woods identifying wild life, animals, birds etc.
Back to nature, and many many hours spent studying and observing…..x
With Albert Einstein ~ discussing his great intellectual achievements and originality that made the word “Einstein” synonymous with genius.
Could sit and listen to him yes, how much I would understand, or be able to contribute to a conversation with him would be very little………way above my head..x
An interesting blog of yours Star. Very well thought.
My first guest would be Napoleon Bonaparte just for the half of the day.
From noon till midnight 1 would prefer to spend the time with Salma Hayek.
Ermm, just wondering Michael why you would choose the later part of the day to spend with Salma,……..do I detect a little wining and dining going on there………and what does poor old Napoleon get……..a cup of tea…hehe…xxx
With Napoleon only the best champagne would do. He has ruled the world and I would like to listen what he thinks of our time now??????
Well Star after the time with Napoleon I will have to relax with a beautiful and intelligent women at my side. This imagination is not too bad, is it??? XXXM
Michael,your imagination is ace…..lol xxx
Starlette when I can’t seem to settle on one but Hillary Clinton first popped into my mind and I know what the past was already. Will she run in 2016? Will the USA finally have a woman president?
Rose,I don’t have the answer for you, but I did see her being interviewed recently………she wouldn’t give a definite answer if she would run or not…….so by side stepping an answer, maybe she has the makings of one who would fit in well in a government position…x
Well Star I think I would like to spend the day with Abraham Lincoln and just sitting and listening to his ideas.
As Debbie would I too choose President Abraham Lincoln,but at a particular moment of action. Sitting next to him on the train from Philadelphia to Gettysburg. He asking my opinion on the correct vocabulary for his Address.
Most importantly to stand in the front row of the audience looking up at his stature and emotional passion as he spoke the most perfect, concise ten minute speech interpreting THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
I consider THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS the most important document in American history.
PS. I’d trip John Wilkes Booth as he came down the stairs to the Presidential Box where the demon’s deed was committed
Hi Debs, good choice…….. all the greats……….just wondering, in many years to come, if this question were to be asked to future generations, who would they choose from the present day…….xx
Since dogs are my favorite people, I pick Lassie!
Well now Laurie, would be interested to know what you would discuss with Lassie….assuming you are conservant with doggy language…….x
The nice thing about dogs is there’s no need for conversation.
I would like to spend one more day with Alistair McCloud. No! I know you have never heard of him. He taught me to track. He was a very quiet man, but when he did speak. Wow! Wisdom, knowledge and you’d damned well better listen.
No Way I have never heard of him, but he must have made a big impression on you for you to remember him…….now I could be wide off the mark here, but I think maybe he was one of your officers in the forces, I came to this conclusion because you said he taught you how to track, would this be in the jungle.??….xx
No Star. Ali would have laughed till he choked if he heard himself referred to as an officer. He was a gillie. A sort of estate manager in the Scottish Highlands. I met him when i was 14 and he taught me so much about many things from a love of the wild places to proper manners. The manners were usually taught with a belt round the ear if i overstepped the mark.
Ok Way lol, I was so wide of the mark, but he was someone you looked up to,………a gillie, something new I have learnt, well the belt around the ear served you well, you remembered what you were taught..xx
Jesus Christ spending the day just watching and listening and learning
And what a lesson to be learnt…….x
It’s an interesting subject star – very interesting – u clever u. I tend to drift toward Way’s post . I had very strict role models – old guys that had wisdom. When they spoke you listened and learnt. Who would I spend the day with? – Bob Marley ( did meet him a couple of times) – and why – because he was a gent in the full meaning of the word and because he wrote wisdom :
No Woman No cry- lol – be SAFE X
Hey Dave,how good to see you here. Bob Marley ok by me….love the reggae music…now who can we get to record. No Man….No Heartache….Mwah..lol xx
No balls- no hope -that should do it star. – It is nice that you think amongst our blithering hopelessness – an I luvs yer
“No Balls……No Hope “……..good title for a song…….just need the recording artist now……Lmao………luvs yu back xx
Winston Churchill, I would have loved to sit beside him while he wrote, planned and executed his plans .
There would have been some story to tell there Brummie..x
